SAR Headlines

"This week we responded to a 5-day-old search for a despondent. Opened the book, read the information, looked at our topographical map...started a bloodhound at the PLS, had ground teams situated based on what we read. Well the bloodhound and one ground searcher arrived at the same location - within 15 minutes we had the person. It was right at the transition between urban and rural and just out of sight - just as the book said. We just want to say that your book helped us TREMENDOUSLY and the police department was so impressed, they will be ordering soon!" Lynn Gardiner - People and Paws
